Abstract: The invention relates to a device for extinguishing fires and/or distributing extinguishing agents, comprising at least one displaceable distinguishing arm through which the extinguishing agent is guided, and an extinguishing tip that is secured to an outer end of said arm, in addition to a transport or securing unit that is arranged on the another end of said device. Essentially, the extinguishing arm comprises, in the longitudinal direction, at least two articulated segments that are joined together. The number and length of said segments are arranged such that the extinguishing tip can be placed in the direct proximity of the source of the fire when used for fighting fires.
